May 15, 2025

Common Sources of Foot Pain We Treat

Foot pain can stem from numerous sources. At SOLUTIONS Pain & Spine Doctors, we regularly treat patients suffering from:

#1. Plantar Fasciitis

This condition is one of the primary sources of heel pain. Your plantar fascia connects your heel and toes; when inflamed due to overuse, poor arch support or injury it can produce sharp, stabbing pain—particularly early morning or after sitting still for long periods.

#2. Peripheral Neuropathy

This condition, typically caused by diabetes, chemotherapy drugs or nerve damage can leave sufferers experiencing burning, tingling or numbness in the feet. Left untreated, it may become debilitating and increase falls risk while restricting mobility, reducing overall mobility and potentially debilitating mobility as a result.

#3. Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Similar to carpal tunnel, tarsal tunnel syndrome occurs when the tibial nerve travels through the ankle and becomes compressed, leading to pain, tingling or shooting sensations in both feet and ankles.

#4. Post-Injury or Post-Surgical Pain

Foot or ankle injuries that appear to have healed can still leave chronic nerve pain that must be managed with therapy to reduce inflammation, desensitize damaged nerves and restore mobility. Our pain specialists offer various therapies designed to ease that burden.

 

How a Pain Management Specialist Can Help

A pain management specialist works to diagnose the source of your foot discomfort and offering tailor-made, noninvasive therapies to address it. At our pain clinics in Peachtree Corners, Norcross, Decatur and Buford GA we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and therapies for lasting relief:

  • Our approach may include image-guided injections to decrease inflammation and promote healing.
  • Peripheral nerve blocks for conditions such as tarsal tunnel syndrome or nerve entrapment.
  • Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can help block nerve signals to alleviate pain from problematic areas.
  • Spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation for managing severe, chronic neuropathic pain is often effective.
  • Referral to physical therapy can increase strength and mobility of the foot and ankle.

Pain management techniques may prove especially useful to patients seeking to postpone or avoid surgery or who have failed to find relief through conventional therapies.

At SOLUTIONS Pain & Spine Doctors, we understand that chronic foot pain requires tailored care specifically for you. That is why we take the time to evaluate your medical history, lifestyle and symptoms to create a customized care plan to get you back to feeling at your best.
